- DirectorSamuel BayerStarsJackie Earle HaleyRooney MaraKyle GallnerThe spectre of a disfigured man haunts the children of the parents who murdered him, stalking and killing them in their dreams.This is one of the worst remakes, the original is definitely superior. Haley is the only good thing about it imo and is creepy as Freddy, but Robert Englund defines the role.
"One Two, Guess Who's Coming For You!" - DirectorStephen HopkinsStarsRobert EnglundLisa WilcoxKelly Jo MinterThe pregnant Alice finds Freddy Krueger striking through the sleeping mind of her unborn child, hoping to be reborn into the real world.Englund is great as Freddy as usual and I like the scenes with Freddy's mother, but this is a very weak sequel that could've been better imo. "It's A Boy!"
- DirectorRonny YuStarsRobert EnglundKen KirzingerKelly RowlandFreddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees return to terrorize the teenagers of Elm Street. Only this time, they're out to get each other, too.It's nice to finally see Freddy and Jason
together, but the film could've been a little better imo and Kane Hodder should've played Jason. "Welcome To My Nightmare!" - DirectorRenny HarlinStarsRobert EnglundRodney EastmanJohn BeckmanFreddy Krueger returns once again to terrorize the dreams of the remaining Dream Warriors, as well as those of a young woman who may be able to defeat him for good.This is a pretty good sequel that's been called the MTV nightmare. Freddy starts to get very comedic here, but Englund is great as usual
and there's some neat effects.
"How Sweet, Fresh Meat!" - DirectorRachel TalalayStarsRobert EnglundLisa ZaneShon GreenblattDream-haunting Freddy Krueger returns once again to prowl the nightmares of Springwood's last surviving teenager, and of a woman whose personal connection to Krueger may mean his doom.Like "Freddy's Revenge" this gets a bad rap and is very underrated. I've always liked it and agree Freddy is cartoonish in it, but I think
it's intentional and Englund is great as the character as usual. "Every Town Has An Elm Street!" - DirectorJack SholderStarsRobert EnglundMark PattonKim MyersA teenage boy is haunted in his dreams by deceased child murderer Freddy Krueger, who is out to possess him in order to continue his reign of terror in the real world.This has been called the black sheep of
the series because it goes in a different direction and has homoerotic subtext. I've always liked the film and think it's very underrated. It's definitely one of the scariest with Freddy, Englund is great in the role and his make-up
by Kevin Yagher is creepy. Patton is also convincing as Jesse, he & Myers have good chemistry and Christopher Young's score is chilling. "You Are All My Children Now!" - DirectorChuck RussellStarsHeather LangenkampRobert EnglundCraig WassonA psychiatrist familiar with knife-wielding dream demon Freddy Krueger helps teens at a mental hospital battle the killer who is invading their dreams.This is a good sequel that's basically the fan favorite of the series with a good cast & neat effects. I also like Dokken's "Dream Warriors" song. "Welcome To Primetime Bitch!"
- DirectorWes CravenStarsHeather LangenkampRobert EnglundJf DavisA demonic force has chosen Freddy Krueger as its portal to the real world. Can Heather Langenkamp play the part of Nancy one last time and trap the evil trying to enter our world?This is a good sequel, Langenkamp and Englund are great as usual and I like J. Peter Robinson's score. Craven reinvented the series with this by bringing back the original cast and making Freddy scary again. "One, Two, Freddy's Coming For You!"
- DirectorWes CravenStarsHeather LangenkampJohnny DeppRobert EnglundTeenager Nancy Thompson must uncover the dark truth concealed by her parents after she and her friends become targets of the spirit of a serial killer with a bladed glove in their dreams, in which if they die, it kills them in real life.This is Craven's best, Englund is great as Freddy, the role he was born to play, Langenkamp and Saxon are also great and who can forget Charles Bernstein's classic score.
"Don't Fall Asleep!"
